Alignment for cars driven in Mitchell Park
Mixed older and newer housing on the fringe of the education precinct.
Whatever is parked in the driveway, the principle does not change. Camber, caster and toe are measured against the specification for your exact vehicle and set where the vehicle has adjustment to give. Steering and suspension are checked before anything is turned, because a worn component will not hold a setting.
Mitchell Park sits in City of Marion. The workshop is a single location in the city at 60 Byron Place, Adelaide SA 5000, so the car comes to us rather than a van coming to you.
What the hills fringe does to a car
Where the plain meets the first rise of the foothills, the streets stop being flat and straight. Sustained descents put continuous load through the front brakes and suspension, cambered and winding residential streets load the outside wheels harder through every corner, and steep driveways scrape and compress suspension in a way flat ones never do. Cars driven mostly on this kind of ground tend to show their wear on one side before the other, which is a pattern worth having measured rather than guessed at.
The rest of the workshop
From Mitchell Park to Byron Place
Head in along South Road. The workshop is at 60 Byron Place, Adelaide SA 5000, on the western side of the city centre.
Drop the car in and we will call you when the figures are done. If the alignment turns up something worn in the steering or suspension, you get told what it is and what it costs before any further work starts.
Questions
Mitchell Park questions
Do you do wheel alignment for Mitchell Park?
Yes. Mitchell Park is inside the area we serve. The work is done at the workshop at 60 Byron Place, Adelaide SA 5000, which is the only location, so bookings for Mitchell Park vehicles come to the city rather than to a mobile van. Call (08) 8212 1448 or send a quote request and we will arrange a time.
How do I get to the workshop from Mitchell Park?
Head in along South Road. The workshop is at 60 Byron Place, Adelaide SA 5000, in the Adelaide CBD. Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm. Closed weekends.
What does a wheel alignment involve?
Camber, caster and toe are measured on the alignment equipment and compared against the manufacturer specification for your vehicle, then adjusted where the vehicle has adjustment available. Steering and suspension components are checked first, because a worn bush or tie rod end will not hold a setting no matter how carefully it is set.
How often should a car from Mitchell Park be aligned?
A check is worth doing if the car pulls to one side, the steering wheel sits off centre when you are travelling straight, or the front tyres are wearing unevenly. It is also worth doing after new tyres, after suspension or steering work, and after any solid kerb strike or pothole hit. If none of that applies, having it checked when the tyres are rotated is a sensible interval.
Do you only do wheel alignment?
No. Wheel alignment is the specialism the business is named for, but the workshop also handles brake repair, clutch repair, general car repair and maintenance, logbook servicing for 13 brands, and on-site car support. Mitchell Park customers can have alignment and servicing done in the same visit.
